Box-Office Report: Sonam Kapoor’s ‘ELKDTAL’ has a poor start

Sonam Kapoor‘s highly anticipated film ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ released yesterday (February 1). This feature film deals with a sensitive topic of same-sex relationship and raises uncomfortable questions. It has had a poor start at the box-office on Day 1.

‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ has done business worth Rs 3.30 crore on its opening day. This drama also stars Anil Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Juhi Chawla in lead roles. This is also for the first time that Sonam is sharing screen space with her dad Anil Kapoor.

This is what Bollywood Bubble had to say about Shelly Chopra Dhar’s film, ‘‘Every actor in the film is wonderful, especially Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. They do not put a foot wrong, and you’ll come out of the theatre raving about how good they are. Shelly Chopra Dhar’s direction is breezy, and it’s commendable considering she is a first time director. Even the songs are top-notch and go very well with the screenplay.”

The makers of ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ would be hoping that the film picks up the pace over the weekend. The Sonam Kapoor starrer is also facing stiff competition from Kangana Ranaut‘s magnum opus ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ at the box-office. Sonam Kapoor’s acting though has been praised by most of the critics and experts and she has done a stellar job in ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’.
